Case Study: Sandy Grove Middle School achieves net-positive energy usage with Cree Lighting LED solutions

Sandy Grove Middle School saves $16 million with Cree Lighting

Sandy Grove Middle School, a public school in Lumber Bridge, North Carolina, needed a speedy, efficient, and cost-effective construction process for its new building. The school's initial vision was to use traditional fluorescent lighting for the project, which was designed to be a net-positive energy facility. Cree Lighting was engaged to provide a more efficient LED lighting solution.

Cree Lighting implemented its energy-efficient CR Series LED troffers. This solution helped the school, which is designed for LEED-platinum certification, achieve its goal of becoming the first net-positive energy school in the nation. The building is projected to save the county $16 million on energy bills over its lifetime. Cree Lighting's products were a key component in maximizing the building's energy efficiency.
